If I am going downhill or uphill, the low fuel warning will trigger early. Then I do another ignition cycle with the bike level, clears the warning so the next time it goes off, the number changes.
in other word if it says you are out riding and it comes on and says you have 53 miles left and you ride it without stopping until it says 22 miles left it will be fairly accurate.
If however you are out riding, and it comes on and it says you have 53 miles left, and you continue to ride it for 10 miles and then stop somewhere and turn off the ignition. Then come back out and restart the bike and continue the ride, the computer gets confused by the interuption and can no longer be trusted to accurately predict miles left to empty.
At least that is what multiple members of the ST forum have found out about theirs over the years which uses a similar system.
I just remembered that I was going uphill on my GSX-R 750 before I stopped riding it on the street (track bike now), and wound it up to redline.
The engine cut out and I was very concerned until I saw the low fuel warning light flashing. I'd starved it because of high fuel flow. Fortunately it was all downhill to the gas station and I made it but only just.
So there is likely a high degree of confidence that it was fuel supply.
